Immediately following the forum, voters can tune into the second presidential debate, which begins at 9 p.m. on ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

The second in the series of three presidential debates will be presented in a town hall-style format from Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. This debate will be 90 minutes long and will feature pre-screened questions from a group of undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organization. Moderated by CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley, the topics will range from domestic to foreign policy.

Candidates each will have two minutes to respond, and an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate a discussion.

The Florida Patches will run a live chat during the debate.
